<p class="has-text-align-justify">Valve launched a handheld gaming device called Steam Deck on February 25th of this year; Steam is a miniature all-in-one portable gaming computer! Just log into your Steam Deck and your Steam Library will show up, complete with all games – exactly where you left them. The handheld Steam Deck is priced at $399, a pretty fair deal when you consider that it is basically a handheld computer. </p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">Steam Deck is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse that is capable of running the latest AAA games very efficiently. No matter what you are comfortable with, this gaming device comes with thumb sticks and trackpads, a 7-inch touch screen and grip buttons to make extended gaming sessions very comfortable.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">There are 3 storage options to choose from – 64GB, 256 GB and 512GB – the prices vary for each. There is no in-game difference or any changes in graphics quality or frame rate; you will instead be getting extra accessories such as exclusive Steam community profile bundle, premium anti-glare glass, exclusive virtual keyboard theme and so on. Steam Deck also provides a microSD slot for additional storage space.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">Essentially a gaming console, Valve&#8217;s device can also turn into a portable PC. You can plug it into your TV or a monitor, install apps and software, browse the web, watch videos and even install other game stores on it. Steam Deck is Bluetooth-ready, and its USB-C port can handle all sorts of I/O. This is where Steam Deck differs from Nintendo’s Switch, its main rival.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">The console runs on SteamOS and is built on Linux. A software called Proton will let you run Windows PC games on the console; and if you want, you can even uninstall Steam’s operating system and simply install Windows! Valve calls Steam Deck a “small PC with a controller” and by the sounds of it, looks like it might be true!</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">Though lags have been reported on the Steam Deck, the company is rolling out regular updates in hopes to fix these. A ready example of this is how Valve listened to its community of users about the annoyingly noisy fan and sent a Beta update their way to fix it. ;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">You can reserve your own version of the handheld for select regions. According to the official website, the device has started shipping in the order the reservations were made.</p>
